8. As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God. Our fathers’ stories are
reproduced before our very eyes. We heard the promise, and we have seen the
fulfillment. The records of Zion, wonderful as they are, are proved truthful,
because present facts are in perfect harmony therewith. The Lord is first
spoken of as Lord of hosts, a name of power and sovereignty, and then as
our God, a name of covenant relation and condescension. The Lord deals
with us in his lovingkindness, and in faithfulness to his promises. God will establish it forever. That which God establishes endures for all eternity. Selah.
Here is a fit place to pause, viewing the past with admiration, and the future
with confidence.
